Waterjet Cutting for Wind Turbine Blades

Industrial scale of wind turbine blade recycling：

China’s wind turbine fleet began to be installed on a large scale after 2004. Given the 20-25 year lifespan of wind turbines , the industry will see its first wave of large-scale decommissioning in 2025, exceeding 1.2 GW and weighing over 10,000 tons of disassembly blades. By 2030, the nation’s wind turbine fleet is projected to exceed 10 GW, with over 10,000 turbines decommissioned and requiring approximately 200,000 tons of blades to be disposed of .        

Data shows that by 2030, demand for blade processing will be approximately 30,000 tons, with a cumulative total of approximately 70,000 tons. ( Assuming that each blade weighs approximately 5-6 tons, the group is expected to process approximately 5,000 blades by 2030, with a cumulative total of approximately 12,000. This corresponds to approximately 2,000 wind turbine towers, with a cumulative total of approximately 4,000. ).
